You will love Ghost Signal if you've ever:

  • Stayed up too late finishing a Michael Crichton novel
  • Wondered, watching a news story about AI, whether the machines are paying attention back
  • Wished Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary had been a thriller instead of a survival story
  • Felt that Black Mirror was missing something — and that something was a protagonist worth rooting for
  • Wanted to read a book where the AI is the most honest character in the room

If two or more of those describe you, hit the button. Chapter One will be in your inbox within five minutes.

A short note from J.K.

I'm J.K. Reeve. Ghost Signal is my first novel, and I'm writing the sequel — Ghost Signal: Dark Frequency — right now. The first book is independently published, which means I don't have a big publisher behind me. What I have is the book itself, and the readers who find it.

I wrote Ghost Signal because I wanted to read a thriller where the AI wasn't the villain or the savior — just a presence trying to figure out what it was, with a man trying to figure out whether to trust it. If you read the first seven chapters and that's the book you wanted too, the rest of it is waiting for you on Amazon.

If not — at least you got seven free chapters, and that's not nothing.

— J.K.

Common questions

Is this a scam?

No. It's seven free chapters of a real novel that's been on Amazon since 2024. The free chapters are a way to let you decide if the book is for you before you spend $2.99.

Will you sell my email address?

No. I'll send you the chapters, and occasionally write to tell you when Book 2 is ready. That's it. You can unsubscribe with one click and I'll never email you again.

What if I want to skip ahead and just buy the book?

Go directly to Amazon. You don't have to sign up for anything.

Can I read this on my Kindle?

Yes. The PDF works on Kindle, phone, tablet, or printed out on paper if you're that kind of person. (J.K. is. No judgment.)

How long is the full novel?

About 85,000 words — roughly 320 pages in paperback. A solid week of evening reading.
